Shattered Dimensions

Turning towards the heavily armoured soldier, Dante scoffed at his question.
"According to everyone here, apparently not. You lot are on your own. You look tough; you'll manage."
Without waiting for a response, Dante walked away from the group. As he did so, he smirked. As if they had any idea of what was happening in this city. Idly twirling his pistols as he walked, the Devil Hunter started thinking about his brothers involvement. 'What does Vergil gain from all this?'
The trees overhead seemed to reach down to Dante, almost like they wanted him to join their ranks among the parks many plants.

Yugi stared incredulously at the man as he spoke, continuing to stare silently until the man moved over to talk to Dante. He then redirected his gaze to the woman who stood beside him.
"COG? Hammer strikes? Locust Invasion?" he shook his head bewilderedly. "I really don't like it here..."

"Careful there Buster," Fiora warned the newest man with a growl as he bandaged her arm.
"Touch me again, and you'll be lighter of pocket for it..."
She watched him leave to talk to Red, which from the looks of it, seemed to be a rather disastrous affair, but looked down to Yugi when he spoke up.
"Well, I'm glad you're confused too, Piccolo," she teased, gently pinching his cheek.
"I was beginning to worry that maybe my English wasn't as perfetto as I thought."
She placed her hands on her knees, leaning toward him.
"We'll find a way out, don't you worry."

Damon's discussion with Red seemed to end in a very flawed fashion, and it fleshed out Red as a real moron in Baird's mind. He was frustrated with how this particular person was taking this situation, when he was clearly the most comfortable with what was happening. Baird knew that Red knew something, but he clearly wasn't sharing the information with the new group they'd formed. Apparently, he was to self-centred to do something so helpful.

"You're a complete dick, you know that?" he said and walked back to the other pair. It seemed that the boy was still trying to comprehend what he'd said about the Locust incursion, and Baird was beginning to think of why that would be. He pondered for a moment, scratching his chin as to why, and he decided he'd share the thought with his new comrades.

"Boy in blue: Uh...what's your name, kid? And yours miss? I'm Baird; Corporal in charge of Sigma One. COG army. I used to call Jacinto home, but now Vectes is. Where are you both from?"

Dante heard the large man curse at him from afar, but didn't return the favour. Above him, the dark red clouds thundered and spewed bright orange lightning, and he heard a familiar chuckle. Looking up and focusing on the lightning, he watched as it formed three glowing red robs set in a triangle. Seeing that, Dante seethed with hatred and anger.
"Dante Sparda. How long has it been? Surely not two thousand years?" the Prince of Darkness mockingly asked, sarcasm dripping from his booming voice.
"It's been five years since I sent your ass straight back to Hell, Mundus! I should have known you were involved, you three-eyed coward!" Dante's shout was met with more infuriating mocking laughter. "That's right, and I have your brother, of all people, to thank for my swift return. He gave me a way into this weak and disgusting realm of yours that you wouldn't have heard of, and in return I gave him a means to come back, more powerful than he was when I controlled him myself."
Dante's eyes narrowed and he clenched the grips on his pistols; he'd honestly thought his twin had changed after the two of them duelled for the Force Edge in the Underworld, and if not then, then surely after being beaten and enslaved by this...bottom feeder.
"So then, if you're back, why leave some people alive? I mean, I would've been your first target after you wiped out billions of innocents."
Mundus' eyes didn't move, but Dante could hear the evil smile in his voice.
"You're quite right. I don't need to kill you; not just yet. I have plans for you all. In the meantime, however, I have someone who I think you might like to meet again."
A lightning charge built up near the triangle of glowing orbs and struck the ground, where Phantom, the first of Mundus' Generals, appeared. The giant rock and molten lava spider spotted Dante, and its blue eyes darkened with hatred, as well as the exposed lava coursing underneath the diamond-hard skin. Mundus chuckled with a sickening joy.
"After all, you have so much to catch up on. Phantom, bring him to me. Alive." The orbs disappeared, and Phantoms scorpion tail curled out from his back.
"Son of Sparda, you're mine, you puny, pathetic insect!" He launched a fireball from his mouth, which Dante dove to the side to avoid. The ball of Hellfire collided with a tree, bursting it into flames.
"Whoa, there! Calm down! I think it's time for you to cool off!" Dante taunted back, bringing his pistols into the fight and opening fire.

Yugi blushed softly as Fiora made a fuss of him, but he quickly recovered and looked at the strange newcomer. Even more words he didn't know seemed to fall out of his mouth as he spoke.
"Umm... well, I'm Yugi Motou. I'm from Japan..." he offered, hoping that was what the man wanted to hear from him.

[The Painted Lady]

Fiora straightened as the large man - Baird, whatever - addressed her and Yugi.
"Fiora," she replied simply. "You don't get a last name. Of Roma."
She rose an eyebrow.
"And honestly, I have no idea about any of the things you talk about."

[Lykaios]

Damon tried to hide his amazement, but was so exceptionally astounded, he didn't quite know what to make of it. Yugi from Japan? Fiora from Roma? He knew Sera's world map, even though cities had been renamed after the Hammer strikes, and cities had completed disappeared. But he'd never heard of either of these places. Thinking logically, he heard an explosion of noise, somewhere in the distance and out of their sight. He glanced around, and saw a plume of smoke rising from the direction the sound must have travelled from, and it wasn't far, but neither was it close enough to worry...yet.

Having frowned a little, and rubbed his temple, he whispered a barely audible 'shit', and looked back to the pair. He sighed, and started his theory.

"So, fully; my name is Damon Baird. My home, is a world called Sera. Some cities are called Char, Mercy, Timgad, Anvegad and Jacinto. Jacinto's formerly a city, on a shore of Ephyra. Let me explain..." he paused, struggling to get this through his mind.
"I think...we're in different worlds. Or, specifically...a different world. This place is alien to me. Red before? What him and blue were doing, was impossible by my reckoning, but I'm willing to go out on a limb and come up with some logical conclusions. I'm used to threats being humanoid, grey and violent. Even explosive! But that was insane! Yugi; you said you're from a place called...'Japan'? And you Fiora; say you're from Roma? Well, I know for a fact there's no cities even closely named as those where I'm from. So...somehow...I think we've been...drawn together? Hell, I dunno. There's some messed up shit goin' on, and I can't even begin to guess!"

He took a few steps away from the pair and continued rubbing his temples. What a mess. he thought, looking over his shoulder at the pair. He stopped rubbing, long enough to see the smoke getting blown in their direction; and he began to worry red was in the shit up to his eyebrows, just around that corner. He looked around, trying to seek out dino-breath, for possible confirmation or even a thought of his own. Calling over his shoulders, he asked;

"Have either of you seen the big dino-guy, around? He went missing a little while ago..."

((Just popping in to tell you guys that I am pulling out of this RP. I don't wanna hold it up any longer than I already am, sorry))

Phantom spewed a fireball at Dante, who quickly dived out of the way and fired back when he landed back on his feet. He holstered his pistols and dashed towards the spider-like demon and launched himself into the air to bring his sword down on the General, but he was interrupted by the skewering strike of Phantom's tail. The devil hunter span out of the way, but he'd been glanced in the side by the point, and he hit the ground bleeding from the ribs. Holding the wound tightly and gritting his teeth, Dante reached into his jacket and retrieved a small glowing green star seemingly made of glass. He shattered it against the wound and sighed as the substance healed the gash.

Dante looked back up at Phantom and smirked. "You've gotten better, you oversized bug. Did you get some pointers when Mundus resurrected you?" he asked mockingly, casually taking his sword from his back. The demon General roared in response and launched a larger fireball this time, which was once again dodged. Laughing, Dante beckoned to his opponent.

((FYI, this fireball is headed to where everyone else is.))
